Such sweetness! Thank you for sharing the happy. The cookies are amazing! And that tart!! Stunning!
Ken is still rockin it at post 50.
That baby can’t help but be curious about all that excitement you know s/he’s going to show up early.
Knit Stephanie knit! The Winds of Woolyness are behind you!

Oh! I was so careful to be gender neutral but I just realized all the cookies are blue!! So is this a reveal or was that the only color of food coloring in the house and you weren’t going to get on the bus for a little bit of food coloring when you only need a drop or two and that’s wasting precious time with everything you have to do for the shower and that cuts into knitting time and there’s still all those things you need to do for Strungalong and that baby better not come early….lol

Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures. I should send a present since I feel like I was there. We will definitely not expect more posts since I’ll bet you’re knitting around the clock. May the blanket be finished soon because I don’t think that little fellow is going to wait too much longer.

On behalf of The Blog, I would like to extend our gratitude for allowing so many of us to share in your joy during this amazing time in your life. Your mum’s magnetic personality and clever way with words and pictures have — dare I say it?– knit us firmly into your family.

We wish you all good things in the days and weeks to come, and if it should happen that your mum suffers a wee breakdown over the baby’s blanket, please do let us know. In detail.

I have read this blog since my own now-13 year old baby was tiny, and I probably haven’t commented in a decade because you’re so swamped, but I just had to say: that is one happy looking couple of parents-to-be. I am rejoicing from afar with your family’s happy event.

This post made me smile so hard I almost started to cry. I’m so extremely happy for you and your family. I love the pictures you post of the wonderful family time you have together. Congrats! Best wishes!

It’s all so wonderful. Happy to hear Jen mentioned. Feels like it’s been a while. And Ken too! And man, can that family ever make the most beautiful cookies.
And yes, thanks to Megan for allowing us all to share a bit in this exciting time.

oh! I am welling up as I scroll through this post. The cookies are a work of art. Meg’s love of your effort with the tart is such a rewarding mom moment.The welcoming circle of love for the new arrival. It couldn’t be more perfect. xo

I’m reading this on March 8, which happens to be MY baby’s birthday. He’s 22 now but seeing these pictures reminds me of the joy I experienced back then. I wish her a healthy, happy baby and so many wonderful memories to make it the years to come! <3

Thank you SO much for sharing this with the blog – I think we are almost as excited as your family is (though nothing can win over a new baby truly in the family). I wish you much happiness, easy labour vibes (or easy section vibes if it needs to go that way), and blissful sleep and a calm baby.

Oh, WELL DONE, YOU!! Those cookies are an amazing first go – AMAZING! From one cookie baker to another, I’m proud of you, my friend.
The rest are lovely and adorable, particularly Luis listening to the fetoscope and Pato grinning so wide.
Happy Birthday, Ken!!

Wow! Not only are you a great knitter, but an absolute artiste in the kitchen. The cookies look so professional and the tart is a just gorgeous. Good luck to all of you, and to a lucky baby to be surrounded by so much love.

I am ferklempt! Those cookies came out way better than I could imagine. You can do anything!
I am a new Grandma (10 month old boy/girl twins) I can’t tell you how wonderful it is!!! After the babies were born I walked into the grocery store and wondered “why don’t any of these people know that I am a grandma now!!!!”
The cool thing is you are so good with words. I know you will be able to tell everyone so beautifully how wonderful being a grandma is!!!!

This entire post made me well up with tears of pure happiness. What an incredible time for your family. I’ve never met any of you, and I feel like I know you all!
Sending all of my best wishes for the joyous times ahead. xo

Meg, best of wishes to you and your husband! And thank you for letting your Mum share with the Blog.

Stephanie, I am GOBSMACKED by those cookies – you sure you haven’t done this before? I do sugar cookies with “fancy” icing several times a year and am just beginning to feel semi-competent. Yours are marvelous! And the tart is beautiful, and the fetoscope gets the award for best shower “game” ever.

Presypeteria said it best! Thank you to all, I don’t have many relatives and it gives me so much love to be here thank you. I think you have at least 6 weeks Steph, that’s the comfiest looking baby I’ve ever seen! He ‘ll want to lounge around as long as possible I think! Lots of love to a wonderful family!

I got a bit teary reading this because I’ve been reading your blog from the beginning and have watched your daughters grow up, and now here is Meg, beautifully pregnant and happy. What lovely pictures! And after you get the blanket done, could you post the recipe for that tart?

Oh, my goodness! Wonderful! Every bit of it! I knew you were amazingly talented in the fiber deapartment, but holy cow those cookies and that tart! Now I know you are just simply amazingly talented period! Congratulations to the family! SO much love for that little one to share in!

Your comment about Pato about falling off his chair when the baby moved reminded me of some co-workers. One lady was very pregnant. At breaktime she was sitting with a group, one of whom was a devilishly handsome 22 year old man whose natural complexion could be described as ‘ghost’. The baby rolled over. I never knew a ghost could get any more pale, but he did. I think that safe sex became a big priority for him in that moment.
